Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien is asking again for a copy of a study outlining the cost of potential improvements to McCoy Stadium.

In a letter to PawSox co-owner Larry Lucchino, Grebien said news reports have put the cost of renovating McCoy at $65 million. Grebien said the information used to arrive at that figure should be made public. He said the details would be useful to lawmakers and citizens as they consider a new ballpark proposal for the PawSox.

A PawSox spokeswoman said Lucchino will respond directly to Mayor Grebien about his request. The PawSox have proposed relocating the team to a site on the Providence River. The financial terms for the request remain under discussion between the team and the state.
